Me too,So sad, I loved his smile. Did anyone on here know he had cancer but what actually kill him he died from a blood clot RIP EVH I am happy to say I grew up with that music I'm a David Lee Roth fan have to say Van Halen rocks, I like Sammy Hagar I can't drive 55 but I loved David Lee Roth voice and when he left the band you just can't replace the frontman AC/DC did a pretty good job . Loved bon Scott so when he passed they didn't say hey we got a new singer or nothing I just went in there with Brian Johnson and that was magic, talking about all the bands that I grew up with led Zeppelin Aerosmith Van Halen Black Sabbath they are all dying we got old and believe me we rockers party hard, and I'm paying the price for it now my hips need replaced my knees need replaced my back is broken 💔 and my heart is broken gosh I can't remember the year living on Quaaludes but they did a rock concert in Omaha Van Halen was the warm up band for Aerosmith I'm 60 years old now I think I can't swear if it was 78 or 79 but yeah we pushed the boundaries I rocked out in the best generation ever, I miss, bye bye Miss American pie drove my Chevy to the levy but the Levy was dry and good old boys drinking whiskey and rye singing this will be the day that I die 😢😿😭💞
She looks so much like him here. I always thought they looked like brother & sister back then. She's kind of picked up his speech patterns too, or vice versa... visible from watching all these old videos since he has passed. I don't think he ever got over her. Just filled the spot with someone else.
She was still a child star that married a musician at a young age. Got hooked on drugs. Divorced. Wound of making cheesy TV movies. Then she got fat again and stayed that way
Because that generation didn’t know any better. And women had no choice but to buy into it because it was so prevelant and expected. Times have changed.
My goodness a interviewer would never comment on "baby fat" and body shape these days. Women used to put up with so much crap back then and pressure to be thin!
Women (and Men) were not so damn PC then. Open dialog and everyone not being "offended" made social situations more positive and entertaining. Its so terrible how PC has changed how people socialize today. Everyone seems so cautious today. Frankly I think people are getting tired of the PC culture.
@Denise G. You have a good point. Valerie and Eddie were in the public eye so privacy was not an option. Celebrities who want privacy keep to themselves off stage or out of the studio. Back then people were much less offended but less prepared to dodge questions they did not want to answer. There have been many cases of the celebrity just walking out of the interview.
@Denise G. People who are public figures choose how they protect their privacy. Right? She was young and already famous but being a rock stars wife and being an actress is different. As a rock star you are more into the popular culture. She had to learn how to deal with that part of her new chosen lifestyle.
@Denise G. Of course there is a line. How is your period? Over react much? C’mon you can always walk out of the interview and maybe take legal action if you can afford it. Tranquilo!
Denise G. 🙏‼️😇💓Thank you for correcting my SPELLING madame!

Why was it okay in society for so long to launch as a lead topic right into a woman’s weight?! Did interviewers accost Brando with his weight changes??
The interesting thing was is she had a movie coming out that she starred in AND PRODUCED. Not many women in that time produced and starred in their own work. Seems like that would have been mentioned more than weight and sex symbol.
No doubt...extremely sexist times during the 70's & 80's, when Mike was in his heyday on TV. He was a very nice guy & I believe he meant well, but was from the generation where it was OK to make a big deal of such things with women...even accomplished women, as Valerie was already in her young career. His show was the human version of People Magazine.
Valerie, is such a classic lady! I am so sorry for your lost 😞😭 Ed, my deepest condolences to you and Janice also 🙏🙏❤️🙏 your beloved son Wolfgang ❤️😭🙏🙏❤️❤️ God 🙏 Bless your beloved family 🙏🙏
@@jamesb.9472 she spoke in an intereview of how he and her each were sitting with a vial of coke while looking over premarriage documents and ended with something like..i guess that wasnt the best way to start a marriage.
Coke would've been a real quick way to lose weight if she had this bathing suit part she was concerned about. There was plenty of it around in those days. She & Eddie had one wild ride, there is no doubt about that! They made it 20 + years, had a great child together and Eddie left this world as still her dear friend. I'd say they had a pretty good run. 💗
@Peter SokolYou'll need to do some more research, because YOU are incorrect. Valerie absolutely admitted to doing "coke" regularly at one point & time as well as also being unfaithful to Eddie during their 20+ yr marriage. Don't be blaming all the bad behavior on "the rock star", as she was just as much of a flawed human as he was...As we ALL are, from time to time in our lives. And just because they both engaged in some wild behavior, doesn't mean they are/were bad people. As clearly, they both have proven to be really good people who were wonderful parents to their son Wolfgang. RIP EVH 💗
@@JustMe-gx6ul she probably got stressed out when Eddie got sick again and started food medicating. They were divorced but still had an unbreakable bond.
@@sheilaamell7719 Agreed. She's also 60 now, has gone through menopause, which can make keeping weight off for some women, damn near impossible. I can imagine her anguish at having to watch your only child lose, not only his father, but his very best friend. And for his only brother Alex too, to also lose his very best friend. It's extra tragic because of how close they all were. I recently saw an interview with one of Valerie's brothers. He was visibly broken up talking about Ed's passing. So it's quite clear, Ed & Val remained very tight, as did their families. How do you not reach out for all those things that might not be so healthy for you...to comfort you...when the worst possible thing is happening & you can't do anything to stop it. I feel her pain..& the extra 40 lbs, as a result.
@@coldwinter5710 Yes, I saw that interview with Valerie's brother too. And if you remember he said that Wolfgang was the only person in Eddie's room when he died.
@@jacsig Actually, that is NOT what he said. He said Wolf was the last person to "see his dad alive before he went to sleep that night" & he passed away the following morning. I have no doubt they were all back with him that morning, but Ed was no longer coherent at that time to recognize them. (His wife Janie, his brother Al, Wolf & ex- Valerie) were all there. Nursing staff know when "the time is near" & always notify family of this fact so they can be there when they take their last breaths, if they desire.
I think Michael Douglas did no justice to Bertinelli. Instead of referring to her as a sex symbol, why didn’t he just say it like it was? Valerie and Eddie were Hollywood and Rock Music Scenes IT couple. They were icons.
You could never get away with saying what he was saying about weight and asking about a woman's weight on television like that disgusting absolutely disgusting
@@SuperStar-xr4lb Nope. Female. And you are the one that needs to calm down with your strong reaction. Nothing "disgusting" about the interview. She has talked about her weight problems, as have countless other women, for years with the media. She doesn't seem at all reluctant to talk about it. You sound like one of those females who are constantly offended by things in today's world. What a sad life snowflakes like you live.
They were married for over 20 yrs . 1981 - 2007 ( 26 yrs) . She had him the longest and gave him his only child . They still remained friends . She loved him . But , tolerated a lot to be married to him . 20 yrs is legendary in Rock World .
Read an interview today with Valerie Bertinelli in the LA Times from back in March 1990 where VB says that she and Eddie communicate so well. But in her book she wrote in 2007 she says they did not communicate well at all and then on Oprah in 2008 she says they didn't connect. Wow! What a contradiction! Wonder if VB remembers she said that back in 1990!
Baby fat? What!?!? 🤷🏽♀️ Wow! No wonder she freaked out when those internet trolls commented about her weight. She been dealing with the insensitive comments for decades.
what an AWFUL 'host'. . creepster. Hello! she is intelligent and speaking or trying to about Ed's talent but the creepstres , that lady - whoever she is - kept bringing it back to "sex symbol". Valerie has ALWAYS had such poise and genuine generosity of spirit. She SOOO out classes these common dirge.
@Justin Case Exactly! I'd have a "fake cutsey laugh" too, during this really bad IV with Mike. Even though I believe he really did think he was flattering her, no doubt, she wanted to punch him in the face!
“I’m gonna abandon my spirit to them which is exactly what I attempt to do. You work yourself up into that state and you fall into the supplication of the demon gods.” - David Lee Roth (Rock, April 1984, page 30) “I started playing guitar, drinking, and smoking at the age of twelve.” - Edward Van Halen Where did Eddie get his inspirations for songs and the tones he came up with for them? Well, here is an excerpt from a January 1997 Guitar World interview Eddie connected. It was in an article titled UNCHAINED MELODIES by Steven Rosen. These are actual quotes by Eddie Van Halen given: “It’s a wicked feeling when a complete piece of music comes to you. But it’s not me, I’m just a vehicle and I really believe that.” “I ended up writing five songs that day including the music for Me Wise Magic. It blew my mind. I just didn’t want to believe I could do it without drinking.” “Then she had me do some yoga and meditation and some chanting. Next she had me close my eyes and imagine the room that you go to after you’ve had a six-pack of beer. Really try and feel that place. The therapist continued and said, Look you’ve been chosen to do this. All you are doing by drinking is blocking it. It’s a lot easier for them to send it when you are clear. I wonder who “them” is…..Demons…….. Also, Valerie Bertenelli is wicked as well. Valerie is an icon of show business and why is that? Yes she is pretty and she seems to have done a great job raising her son Wolfgang Van Halen. But she has been known to attend the Kabbalah Center and she wears a red string on her wrist which signifies allegiance to the devil. Here is an excerpt from her book Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time by Valerie Bertinelli on pages 157-158: Thankfully, I was able to stay at home for my next project, Murder of Innocence. Although shot locally, it took me as far away from myself as I’d ever been. The character I played, Laurie Wade, was a newlywed whose childhood traumas trigger a series of psychotic breaks that lead her to shoot at schoolchildren. She then commits suicide. Though the project let me work with director Tom McLoughlin again, I didn’t for one minute like climbing into the skin of this woman. I had the feeling that the ghost of Laurie Wade didn’t like it either. One day Tom and I were walking down a tree-lined street in an residential neighborhood, going over a scene in which Laurie is in a manic state when suddenly we heard an ear-splitting squawk that I swear to God sounded like someone saying “Get off!” Both of us looked up and saw two giant ravens sailing toward each other, like two planes on a collision course. We didn’t see them hit, but suddenly one bird fell from the sky hitting tree branches on its way down and landing with a thud at my feet. I looked down and saw blood dripping from its mouth. I looked at Tom and said, “I don’t want to be this woman anymore.” As the weeks progressed I broke down into hives and rashes. They had dermatologists visit the set. Nothing worked. Something about that part got under my skin and triggered a reaction. That’s why I couldn’t wait for the movie to end. I wanted Laurie to leave me alone. Now, isn’t that sick? Hollywood is sick! Valerie married Eddie on 4/11/81. 111 days later MTV debuts. All the rock and roll people who loved Eddie and all the TV fans who loved Valerie “came together” on April 11th when they married. Just in time for MTV which debuted a few months later. Music and Television merges and Eddie and Valerie helped it a long. MTV went on to be a socialistic enterprise to destroy culture. See the 11’s? Married on the 11th? 111 days later MTV debuts…
@curragh 42 Me too,Nothing wrong with being brutally honest... Instead lying to your face or stabbing you in the back... Piss on (Political Correctness) love the rawness of the interview.. These younger people obviously are the ones with the outrageous comments!! Please,they need to stop wearing their feelings on their sleeve
@curragh 42 I'm quite a bit older than you. My two son's are 30 & 36 year's old.. Didn't raise them to be crying pussies at all.. Pretty much, olderson has no filter.. He & I are about the same on that regard..He tells me everything, sometimes too much.. The younger one is opinionated he's just more measured & a little shy.. Parents need to stop coddling their kid's & make them realize the real world is tough & doesn't revolve around them

Do you have to post this everywhere?? Every video I’ve seen, there is your comment, the same exact one. Something is wrong with you, might want to get yourself looked at.
@@lisaallen918 She is lying in her book, too, altho I'm not sure why. I got curious after I saw your post and borrowed a copy of it from a friend of mine who had it. I started reading it, and the account she gives of the way it went down when she first met Eddie doesn't seem to match up with the photos she posted on Instagram last week of the first night they met. She claims in the book that she was taken into a room that Eddie was in with Alex. However, the 2 photos that were posted on the internet appear to show them in an open space with several people and Alex isn't in the background.
@@jacsig wow, you are really wrapped up in the details, aren’t you ? Just because she said they were in a room, but the pics show them in an open space, doesn’t make her a liar !! She never said the pics were taken at the ‘exact moment’ that they met, maybe they were just from that initial first meeting. That would still be when they first met. God, get a life !! Who cares if they were in a room or an open space ???
@@barbarawoodall4835 Happy New Year! Yeah that's what I thought too that it may have been taken later, after she initially fist met him. I don't really care if they were in a room or an open space, but it's just interesting to me that some of the accounts in her book about the way things happened don't match up with other people's accounts who were also there at the same time, including her own brothers or what she said in interviews both back then and since she wrote the book in 2008. And thank you for your advice.

I felt bad for her, being in that position!

Creep. First question is about her weight. Wrong on so many levels
not if youre a bodybuilder lol
She didn't seem to mind. Why you mind so much is what I consider wrong on so many levels.
Because that generation didn’t know any better. And women had no choice but to buy into it because it was so prevelant and expected. Times have changed.
Mike & Dick Cavett were the best, most empathetic interviewers. He was tactful.
Not really. Interviews typically include what everyone wants to know.
God she was gorgeous. Still a beautiful woman, but damn.
I adore her 🙂. Dumb interview tho...weight issue? Sex symbol? Inappropriate. Valerie has more depth then that..
No, obviously she had no depth what so ever. She was always nothing but a ditz.

“I’m gonna abandon my spirit to them which is exactly what I attempt to do. You work yourself up into that state and you fall into the supplication of the demon gods.” - David Lee Roth (Rock, April 1984, page 30)
“I started playing guitar, drinking, and smoking at the age of twelve.” - Edward Van Halen
Where did Eddie get his inspirations for songs and the tones he came up with for them? Well, here is an excerpt from a January 1997 Guitar World interview Eddie connected. It was in an article titled UNCHAINED MELODIES by Steven Rosen. These are actual quotes by Eddie Van Halen given: “It’s a wicked feeling when a complete piece of music comes to you. But it’s not me, I’m just a vehicle and I really believe that.” “I ended up writing five songs that day including the music for Me Wise Magic. It blew my mind. I just didn’t want to believe I could do it without drinking.” “Then she had me do some yoga and meditation and some chanting. Next she had me close my eyes and imagine the room that you go to after you’ve had a six-pack of beer. Really try and feel that place. The therapist continued and said, Look you’ve been chosen to do this. All you are doing by drinking is blocking it. It’s a lot easier for them to send it when you are clear.
I wonder who “them” is…..Demons……..
Also, Valerie Bertenelli is wicked as well. Valerie is an icon of show business and why is that? Yes she is pretty and she seems to have done a great job raising her son Wolfgang Van Halen. But she has been known to attend the Kabbalah Center and she wears a red string on her wrist which signifies allegiance to the devil. Here is an excerpt from her book Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At A Time by Valerie Bertinelli on pages 157-158: Thankfully, I was able to stay at home for my next project, Murder of Innocence. Although shot locally, it took me as far away from myself as I’d ever been. The character I played, Laurie Wade, was a newlywed whose childhood traumas trigger a series of psychotic breaks that lead her to shoot at schoolchildren. She then commits suicide. Though the project let me work with director Tom McLoughlin again, I didn’t for one minute like climbing into the skin of this woman. I had the feeling that the ghost of Laurie Wade didn’t like it either. One day Tom and I were walking down a tree-lined street in an residential neighborhood, going over a scene in which Laurie is in a manic state when suddenly we heard an ear-splitting squawk that I swear to God sounded like someone saying “Get off!” Both of us looked up and saw two giant ravens sailing toward each other, like two planes on a collision course. We didn’t see them hit, but suddenly one bird fell from the sky hitting tree branches on its way down and landing with a thud at my feet. I looked down and saw blood dripping from its mouth. I looked at Tom and said, “I don’t want to be this woman anymore.” As the weeks progressed I broke down into hives and rashes. They had dermatologists visit the set. Nothing worked. Something about that part got under my skin and triggered a reaction. That’s why I couldn’t wait for the movie to end. I wanted Laurie to leave me alone. Now, isn’t that sick? Hollywood is sick! Valerie married Eddie on 4/11/81. 111 days later MTV debuts. All the rock and roll people who loved Eddie and all the TV fans who loved Valerie “came together” on April 11th when they married. Just in time for MTV which debuted a few months later. Music and Television merges and Eddie and Valerie helped it a long. MTV went on to be a socialistic enterprise to destroy culture. See the 11’s? Married on the 11th? 111 days later MTV debuts…
Do you think EVH sold his soul???
You need a new hobby.

I think you need a new tin foil hat.

Why, it is the truth that that person wrote.
There is a lot in this world you don't seem to know about.
What's the dig about dave
No shit, he was the biggest clown in rock history.
cocaine days
Awkward AF
The baby fat is gone? What baby fat 🤣
The eighties were so whack.
They were the best years.
The 80's were a blast. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
@curragh 42 Me too,Nothing wrong with being brutally honest... Instead lying to your face or stabbing you in the back... Piss on (Political Correctness) love the rawness of the interview.. These younger people obviously are the ones with the outrageous comments!! Please,they need to stop wearing their feelings on their sleeve
@curragh 42 I'm quite a bit older than you. My two son's are 30 & 36 year's old.. Didn't raise them to be crying pussies at all.. Pretty much, olderson has no filter.. He & I are about the same on that regard..He tells me everything, sometimes too much.. The younger one is opinionated he's just more measured & a little shy.. Parents need to stop coddling their kid's & make them realize the real world is tough & doesn't revolve around them
@@Indiekiwi Indeed. The 70s were a great time too to be young!
4:01 - LOOKS OF HATE ON THAT MAN - THAT IS NO WOMAN - THAT IS A MAN
I missed it!
Hindsight is 2020! Ugh!🥴

Do you have to post this everywhere?? Every video I’ve seen, there is your comment, the same exact one. Something is wrong with you, might want to get yourself looked at.
I m not superstitious. I hope she ll flee the mysticism laced w luceferianism.
@@barbarawoodall4835 perhaps your projecting?
Never liked valeries voice, has a nasaly whiney sound to it
I read her book. She is lying
Lisa Allen do you mean she is lying in the video or on the book or both?
@@jacsig in the video .she says everything is good.
@@lisaallen918 She is lying in her book, too, altho I'm not sure why. I got curious after I saw your post and borrowed a copy of it from a friend of mine who had it. I started reading it, and the account she gives of the way it went down when she first met Eddie doesn't seem to match up with the photos she posted on Instagram last week of the first night they met. She claims in the book that she was taken into a room that Eddie was in with Alex. However, the 2 photos that were posted on the internet appear to show them in an open space with several people and Alex isn't in the background.
@@jacsig wow, you are really wrapped up in the details, aren’t you ? Just because she said they were in a room, but the pics show them in an open space, doesn’t make her a liar !! She never said the pics were taken at the ‘exact moment’ that they met, maybe they were just from that initial first meeting. That would still be when they first met. God, get a life !! Who cares if they were in a room or an open space ???
@@barbarawoodall4835 Happy New Year! Yeah that's what I thought too that it may have been taken later, after she initially fist met him. I don't really care if they were in a room or an open space, but it's just interesting to me that some of the accounts in her book about the way things happened don't match up with other people's accounts who were also there at the same time, including her own brothers or what she said in interviews both back then and since she wrote the book in 2008. And thank you for your advice.
